LLVM 18 executable has only libc, libm and the system loader as dynamic dependencies,

+On Linux, `make -C build install` builds the manual and calls the POSIX
+`install.sh` to copy `cpsc` and `doc/cpsc.1` into `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/bin` and
+`CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/share/man/man1` (default prefix `/usr/local`). The script
+also supports `--prefix`, `--source-dir` and `DESTDIR` staging. Ordinary builds

+`make -C build release` packages the executable, manual, installer and license

`ArithmeticHandler.cc` touching `llvm::Module` through a transitive include — is gone
